CLUB STATEMENT

[sonic youth]

At the end of the day, you can tell them to fuck off and call them cunts as much as you like. It's not going to make them sell the club to the Consortium.

Nor will any sensible or logical actions, so what's the fucking point?

They're not going to sell the club. It couldn't be any clearer.

BTW Fred I finally got my arse in gear tonight and joined the Trust, but had to use my missuses paypal account, does this mean you will be writing everything to her rather than me?

[Fred Elliot]

Not if you put your name on the application mate

[horlock07]

Good, although I haven't actually told her (well its only a quid she wont notice!) so a letter from the Trust may have caused a problem or too!

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

what a pile of shit! its gone on for too long now! im not happy at all. why do they need to show us them letters? the  board are a joke and if they dont want to sell up they'll lose more fans by the week and they will have to sell up as the club will be on the verge of going bust. they make it worse for themselves they really do! what is their game? are they trying to piss us off on purpose? its just pathetic!

i'm disgusted they have ruined statement friday, its the thing i look forward to after a day at work. always completes the working day so well. I hope they intend to release another one on friday to make up for this

[Dazzza]

Good lord that’s a joke and a half.  You could sit here all night picking out the lunacy of the contradictions of that statement and that’s before you even get onto how condescending the whole piece is.

End of the day it doesn’t really look like they’re going to budge does it?

[Rich Pullen]

I too have just joined the Trust.

Apologies for not doing it before.

[yeo]

loads of extra Trust members must be an official club Statement day.

[horlock07]

I hope that the Trust will avoid making any snidey-pathetic (other posters descriptions on here not mine) statements in relation to this.....



Until 4.56 on Friday........ That will beat the club at their own game, they will not know where to turn!

My highlight:

Code:

Mike Wilks made the following comments in the press, as reported on Saturday 13th January: "Swindon fans want a club that is actually in Swindon and not relocated to junction 17 at Chippenham." As has been clarified on numerous occasions previously, the Club is committed to the redevelopment of The County Ground, and sees this as the ideal scenario for both the club and the town. For Mr Wilks to insinuate otherwise is both misleading and disruptive.

Was it not Diamandis that said if he had a choice between the club dying and moving to J17, he'd move to J17. So how are Mike Wilks comments "misleading and disruptive" when all he's doing is quoting the club's "general manager"?

One of many contradictions - but that was my favourite.

Amazing stuff.

Wonder if they bothered to ask Mike if he minded personal and private communications being displayed in public like that too - surely that's a breach of the Data Protection Act?

Saturday's meeting minutes are posted and within a few hours the club make a statement - pathetic!  Who are they trying to kid? :old:

[horlock07]

Good point about data protection - thank god they didn't provide details of the backers financial status as requested, no doubt that would have been scanned and displayed on the official website by now!!
